Robert M. Sexton: Bible is free speech

It does not authorize local officials to either prohibit the free exercise of religion nor to advocate any specific religion. Displaying Bibles is free speech, protected by the Constitution.

It seems that with Columbine and all the shootings in the world, everyone would want to see a positive influence in our schools.
